The Immigrant and Multicultural Services Society has received $20,000 from the provincial government toward the delivery of a local anti-racism project.
The funding will be used to develop an education campaign and deliver a series of workshops and dialogues.
"Over the years, IMSS has been involved in a number of exciting projects that brings diversity and anti-racism awareness to community partners and members, especially to the minds of diverse group of youth in the community," IMSS executive director Baljit Sethi said.
"IMSS and its partners have successfully launched several anti-racism initiatives that have impacted the community by raising awareness and conveying the importance of cultural diversity and ethnic inclusivity."
IMSS is one of 14 B.C.-based organizations that are sharing nearly $263,000 from the provincial government in the latest round of grants to fund local anti-racism projects.
